CamaroZach, Pro Stock John and I installed slighly used 4.10's and a new torsen LSD in the car yesterday.
The install was straight forward... the usual pinion issues. PITA but can be done without air tools.
Anyway, I re-used ALL the stock shims (from a 3.23 open froma 3.4 M5). The pattern looked fine and backlash was perfect. I put in 85w140 synthetic fluid.
The kicker is, they don't whine at ALL!!! They are one of the most silent gears I have ever hard.
Perhaps the differential needs to be shimmed more so that the ring gear is closer to the pinion?
What do you guys think?
BTW.. Hopefully I'll be hitting the track next weekend on nitto's.. lookin for new bests NA.. then the weekend after might be with N20.
